A resolution was presented to the House of Delegates on January 16, 2016, and the House of
Delegates approved the Outreach Committee as a LSBA standing committee.

The Outreach Committee is working with the LSBA Editorial Board for the Louisiana Bar Journal
to promote member benefits by interviewing different LSBA members that utilize the benefits.
The first article on hotel benefits was published in the Louisiana Bar Journal August/September
2017. This remains a goal of the committee.

Member Benefits
The Department has assumed the role of prescreening member benefit offers and making
recommendations to the Board of Governors regarding whether the LSBA should offer the benefits
to members. The Department will evaluate all member benefits offered by the LSBA to access
members’ usage and satisfaction. The Department will also explore more benefit offers that will
assist members that have more specialized needs.

The current Member Benefit publication is made available at LSBA programs and events.
